3. Insert a suitable tool, Fig. 7, between throttle lever cam and kickdown valve.
4. Push in on tool, compress kickdown valve against its spring so throttle valve is completely bottomed inside valve body.
5. As force is being exerted to compress spring, tighten throttle lever stop screw against throttle lever tang with throttle lever cam touching tool and
throttle valve bottomed. Be sure adjustment is made with spring fully compressed and valve bottomed in valve body.
6. Remove tool and tighten stop screw locknut securely.
